Description:
Although diving in Goa is not exactly world class due to poor visibility of around 4 to 12 meters, there is an amazing amount of marine life as well as hard coral.
Goa is also blessed with a large number of shipwrecks ( reported to be around 600 along the coast) which include galleons, World War II wrecks as well as several merchant ships. There are still a lot of ships waiting to be discovered by lucky, daring divers. | |
